Low NOX burners

Over 90% of the NOx from a typical flame is in the form of NO and the remainder is NO2.

NOX is controlled in a typical burner using
  1. Staged fuel combustion
  2. Fuel gas recirculation
  3. Lean premix combustion
  4. Air flow pattern

Good article here.

Furnace bridge wall

Bridge wall in a furnace is the section the radiation section ends and the convection section begins. The function of the bridge wall is to force the flue gas in a particular path and concurrently generate a pressure drop which affects the draft through the furnace as a whole. The temperature at that point is the bridge wall temperature.
